I used my roomates ipad and she let my download two apps on it because she has younger nephews that could potentially enjoy either App. The first one I chose was called Beauty and the Beast Storybook Deluxe. Basically, it's an app that allows kids to interactively be involved while reading their favorite Disney classic movie. In this case, the movie was Beauty and the Beast. To make the story more fun, there are coloring pages and extra puzzles to go along with the story on the side. This would work in a classroom because you wouldn't have to just read a book outloud during story time, the kids could be read and follow along for themselves, and interactively be involved with something that interests them.
The second app that I chose was Magic Piano HD. This app automatically caught my eye because I am heavily involved with music. Basically the app is just a way for a kid to learn the basics of playing a piano without having to take music lessons, and without it being really serious. You can choose the shape of your piano whether it's spiral, or a circle. I think this app would be helpful in a music class specifically, just to give the kids a chance to explore a piano on their own, without it being really serious. This app could also be used as a way to introduce a new music lesson to catch the student's attention.
